My husband and I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and flexible, making the day relaxed and enjoyable while sharing so many interesting insights about the Basque Country. We especially loved exploring Bilbao and visiting the impressive Guggenheim Museum. The scenic drive along the Basque Coast was absolutely stunning, with beautiful stops that made the day even more memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the highlights of Bilbao and the beautiful Basque Coast in a truly personal way.
A wonderful experience touring Bilbao and its surroundings. The guide was very attentive and knowledgeable, and took us to spectacular viewpoints with amazing views of the city. In addition, it was impressive to admire the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, which on the outside is simply spectacular and a true work of architectural art. The stop in Getaria was lovely, with beautiful coastal landscapes and a unique atmosphere. Everything was very well organized and it was a really nice tour. Highly recommended!
Muchas gracias por vuestra reseña tan bonita. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutasteis del tour por Bilbao y alrededores, así como de los miradores, el Museo Guggenheim y la parada en Getaria. Es un placer para nosotros poder compartir estos rincones del País Vasco con viajeros que los valoran tanto. Gracias por vuestra confianza y recomendación. Será un placer volver a veros en otra ocasión para seguir descubriendo juntos más de la región. Un saludo, Mateo
It was my first trip to Spain. We flew south from Madrid to Granada, Marado and beyond to Bilbao. On my second day in Bilbao, I asked for this tour, and we visited the Guggenheim Museum and drove to the coastal town of Getaria, where we enjoyed grilled fish and chacoli. We also saw wineries below making spectacular views and chacories from the San Diego de Compostela road with ocean views. Other than that, we walked around Getaria church, cityscape and were grateful to Mateo for giving us a deeper taste of the city. This tour is the absolute best way to get a taste of rural Spain that you won't find in a big city!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Bilbao and along the coast, and that the tour helped you experience the charm of the countryside and local wines. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I hope to welcome you back to the Basque Country for another unforgettable experience soon! Best regards, Mateo
We had a fantastic time exploring Bilbao and the surrounding area. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to some stunning viewpoints around the city. Visiting Getaria was a beautiful experience—the town is full of charm and the coastal views were breathtaking. The tour was well-organized, comfortable, and really enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Bilbao and Getaria with us. It means a lot that you appreciated the viewpoints, the organization, and the overall experience. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Best regards, Mateo
I had the most amazing day with Azul Tour! The guide had me discover Bilbao in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to do by myself or following travel guides. He is funny and nice, makes sure to know what your interests are and take you to discover both must see places and unknown gems! I can only recommend Matteo and will definitely book the Rioja tour when I’ll be back holidaying in the area :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Bilbao with me. It was a pleasure showing you the highlights and hidden gems. I look forward to having you on the Rioja tour next time you’re here! Best, Mateo
Matteo took us to several sites in Bilboa before viewing the Guggenheim and lunch. What a great day trip from San Sebastián!
"Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed your day trip to Bilbao with Matteo. Hope to see you again for more adventures!"
Incredible facility and architecture of the inside and outside of the museum BUT the artwork and exhibits were very disappointing particularly compared to other word class museums that we’ve visited. If we had it to do over again, we’d not have spent the day on this experience as there are far more interesting things to do and see while in San Sebastián.
Hello Mike, I noticed your recent review and wanted to kindly point out that your feedback about the Guggenheim Museum’s architecture would be more appropriate on the museum’s official website rather than on our tour profile. I was surprised to see a less-than-positive review from you, especially since we had such a great day together. The architecture of the museum is something beyond our control at Azul Tours, and your review seems to reflect that rather than the tour experience itself. On our profile, we encourage reviews that reflect the quality of the tour, the guide, the organization, and the restaurant experience. We work hard to maintain a high standard, and reviews below 4 stars can affect our profile. We believe this particular review is not entirely fair, as it doesn't evaluate aspects that we can manage. If you could reconsider and focus your review on the tour experience, it would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Matteo
Comfortable and scenic drive to Bilbao. Very nice overview of the city from the viewpoint and walking through town. Lunch was very good. Seeing the museum was the highlight and definitely worthwhile.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the scenic drive to Bilbao, the city views, and the walking tour.

Matteo was our guide and did a fantastic job. He is knowledgeable and took us to great sites for a great view of Bilbao. The tour included a wonderful lunch and time at the museum. Matteo is kind and considerate and cares about our well being. We highly recommend Matteo. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Matteo. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back to Bilbao soon!
Matteo was great company and very knowledgeable about not just Bilbao and the Guggenheim but also subjects such as wine, food and the Basque region in general. I learnt a lot from the day.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time with Matteo and found his insights about Bilbao, the Guggenheim, and the Basque region so enriching. We’re happy to know you had a memorable experience and learned a lot! We hope to welcome you back in the future for more discoveries.
